I read that story the other day, and I have read some of the stories to which 
Lynn alluded.  But, I have been reading many stories where formerly 
'well-to-do' are taking this time to travel and 'adventure'.  One story had 
people who were traveling the backroads in U.S.; but, most stories are of 
people spending time exploring Latin America, Asia, other places they had not 
yet had the time.  Apparently, thery figured traveling , ow, was as 
adevantageous as trying to find employment in such depressing times.  ??

I guess different people will do different things.  If things continue the 
way they have been going Cash (the USD) will remain King , and those who have 
stashed away can do as they please at bargain-rate.  Those tied to one place 
with a mortgage and losuing their job are the ones to worry the most.  
Probably, especially, the ones that never made a high enough income to put 
much aside.  Once again, the hardest working, most deserving people will be 
hit worst.
